San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

As of 2 weeks ago, the launch ramp was completely under water and the road at the top of the ramp was under water in places. The dirt road north of the ramp is now mostly fish habitat. They're sending alot of water to San V but it was refilling faster than it was emptying. They've increased the rate...

I was wondering if I can jump on this bandwagon. I've been fishing for a while but havent really had the opportunity to meet people to go fishing with. My favorite place to fish has been the Kern River, but for a quick fix the piers have been my "go to" I am able to help with any costs ass...

I got to the lake at sunrise, expecting to see the regulars out on the water already...but no, I was alone. That tells you how tough the fishing is and the high water has made launching and parking a real challenge. I keep expecting the lake to go off every week, but it's still not happening! I floa...

Got in some more corvina fishing recently. More quantity over quality compared to before but still some pretty fun fishing. All caught on rapala shadow rap or spook. I’ve really been liking the shadow raps lately. They seem to have better action than LCs even though they don’t cast as far (also chea...

Fished Tidelands this morning from the float tube. Got 31 spotted bay bass, 1 20" halibut and 1 sand bass. At least 1/3 of the spotties were in the 13-15" range. Best lures were a Missile Shockwave swimbait on a weedless standup jig head, a 5" grub on a 3/8 oz. ball head and a 4"...

Where were you fishing?

In the bay! Probably as close as you're gonna get!

A few red ear !!

I'm new to the whole bass fishing thing so this was my first time on the water trying to catch some largies. Thanks to VinnyBass who was kind enough to provide me with some detailed advice I felt like I knew what I was doing. Not a lot of action though but we've caught a few between myself and the j...

When back again same pattern. Fishing was very slow. Started off by catching a carp yay! Carp for me is usually some bad luck so I moved to a different spot as far away as I could get from any visible carp action. Still very slow as far as the bass action was concerned but the patience paid off and ...

We shoved off the dock on time with a load of bait and Brandon putting on a head of steam towards the west southwest. We did most of our drifts in 4-600 ft with a pound of lead due to lack of current. My largest was probably 3 pounds with a few coming up a bit bigger. I saw a few folks that came unp...

Dont know if it was the new moon phase or what, it wasnt as productive as the weeks past. Did get a few, the weather was great, just feel very lucky to enjoy a day on the water had my brother in law with me, he caught 12 bass , it was his best day count wise. Nothing really picture worthy. Tight lines

Took the whaler out for a spin around the lake and found a very steady bite Stopped counting around 15 fished for 2 1/2 -3 hours. Nothing special just old school worming

Knowing that 15 north morning traffic on a weekday gets crazy and going south in the late afternoon a lot worse, I decided to head up to Lake Miramar and put in a little fishing time in my kayak. Knowing that I need to make the most of my time on the water I quickly headed across the lake. I was tos...

Is the water visibility still crap or did it clean up a little? It was overcast for a long while and hard to tell. And also because the water is high, it is deeper water along the tulles and I didn't pay much attention. In the past if you cruised by the tulles you could see the bottom a little bett...

It probably has something to do with some of the director's obsession with wanting to cannibalize Loveland for a sand mining project by dredging at Sweetwater Reservoir. It seems like that. As far as I go this thread is to promote the meeting.

Will Hodges ever reopen to shoreline,tube, and kayak fishing like they promised or is the city faking us out again? I doubt it will ever happen again in our lifetime. Can’t believe how much they expect fishermen to pay to use their lakes but other recreation at the lake is free. They should charge a...

I said last week that it seemed the bite at Sutherland was stirring. That judgment was premature! The bite, it seems, is again cold as ice. At least it appears that way to me and a couple of friends who will remain nameless unless they choose to chime in. Between us we caught 4 fish. Overcast early ...

Went back out to the beach after getting a larger setup and boy am I glad I upgraded. Fished the incoming tide, about an hour after peak low. It was slow for a bit, only got that short 12" bass for the first hour. After moving down the beach a little, as the tide was coming up, I hooked onto so...

Rented a boat at San V today and a fellow SDFisher joined me for the morning. Some froggy looking water but no bites on either the frog or the buzzbait. Water is pea green soup from the grass scum - not just the surface, it’s throughout the water column in places. Plastics were the goods again. Noth...
